^ No, just a tunnel underneath. The next nearest station will be the new MacEwan station about 2-3 blocks west. The tower will also be just a few blocks from Churchill station in the other direction of this line.

The midtown skyline is looking great! Looking forward to Four Seasons dominating this view.

As for the Bridge and Parade, I think it will be completed on the ground, and hoisted (lifted) into place when the second tower is rising.

too true

Too bad for 1BE (and Sacamano... ignore what i am saying )... let's see what GG comes up with!

FS should extend the skyline quite nicely... (and add some climaxes or mountain peeks in the skyline)!

LOL! Sammo!

I (or anyone else) ain't blaming ya!... they're nice shots thats for sure

Old shots but still nice to see posted again once in a while

***and if anything I am high on caffeine... for some reason I've been drinking coffee ever since i was 13 and Mcdonalds is giving it away!

BTW: Mcdonalds coffee is pretty descent!... i'd say more pure than Tim Hortons!... IMO... (i like my coffee 1 cream 2 sugars).. what about you guys?

Sammo u rock!


***and what's your profile pic?... it looks like the crack heads from scary movie!!!... lol... they're high!

Don't think I've seen that photo or that angle before either. Very nice.

Yep, love the Sammo. Reminds me alot of one of departed but much kinder and gentler.

You know you're on SSP when someone suggests that a photo is 'old' based on the number of cranes in the picture, and not the green trees (also plainly visible).

steveve, the pic is from my days at UofT years ago. my bud's the one with the lovely locks (a wig he'd wear when he was feeling 'fancy', -or 'researching') i'm the 'nicotian'. but don't get me wrong, i'm no crack head, never even smoked. that was research -friday 'lucubration'. i have no vices -haven't picked one yet.

Here's a neat diagram of some of the more notable buildings around Yonge and Bloor - http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=44775082

Four Seasons is going to look great.

OH WOW!... how do you get diagram pages of specific areas?

***FS OWNS EVERYTHING IN THE AREA!!!... we should see that same diagram with the old 1BE and see how much imbalance it creates ...

Everything else will look short
